My Blog is Fabulous! :-)

Yè, you read right! 🙂 Thanks to Graeme, my blog is fabulous, too! 🙂 Thanks Graeme!

But, it’s all well and good stating that – once you’re nominated, you have to stick to the rules, so…

Five things I can’t live without:

1) Star Wars, be it the movies, games like Knights of the Old Republic, the odd comic I find, my collection of novels, 🙂

2) Cigarettes. Yè, I’m a smoker, have been for about ten years now. I know, I know… 🙂

3) My Blackberry – It’s imperative to have a phone like this in a third-world country! 🙂

4) My girlfriend, Leana! 🙂 This month our 4-year Anniversary is coming up, and I’m still head-over-heels in love and still the happiest guy on the planet!

5) My books. I once had to sell off all the books I had when we moved (I was about 16 and we just didn’t have space), but never again. Without books I would probably die. Yè, I’m pretty sure of that! 😉

And now I have to tell you all about 5 blogs which I consider to be fabulous, too! 🙂

1) Blood of the Muse

2) Fantasy Debut

3) Nethspace

4) The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent

5) The Road Not Taken

There we go! 🙂

Be Fantastic!

 

I’m a Winner!! :-)

I was boared, checking out the blogs I usually go to, and saw the good news: I won the autographed copy of The Temporal Void that Pat was giving away over at the Hotlist! 🙂 So it’s gonna be Peter V Brett’s The Painted Man, Phillip Palmer’s Debatable Space and Peter F Hamilton’s The Temporal Void, all autographed, that are getting pride of place on my bookshelf!! 🙂 (Excuse me while I jump up and down a bit). 🙂

Also, check out Liz’s review of The Painted Man here: http://myfavouritebooks.blogspot.com/2008/09/painted-man-peter-v-brett.html

Trust Liz, Graeme and myself: the book is excellent! So stop procrastinating and buy it! 🙂

Anyway, still reading The Name of The Wind, and when I’m done with that, I’ll be reading Greg Egan’s Incandescence and C.C Humphreys’ Vlad: The Last Confession, as well as John Meaney’s Dark Blood. Plus there’ll be more interviews soon! 🙂

Also, follow this link over to Karen Miller’s page where you’ll be able to get more info on her Rogue Agent series, which begins with The Accidental Sorcerer, and you’ll be able to read an extract. 🙂 Here’s the link:
